Nutrition & Calorie Comments

A true gumbo has roux w/equal parts of oil (Cajun) or butter (Creole) & flour or tomato based (Creole). Here's a technique my dad used to lower the fat. Let the roux get cold in the fridge; when cold, skim fat off the top. Still authentic, but less fattening. Add green peppers to complete trinity

I realize that this recipe makes 12 servings, but there is no reason to use 3/4 cup of oil. I have not made this particular recipe but have made another full fat version and the oil makes it too rich for my taste. You can make a fat free "roux" by toasting the flour on a baking sheet in the oven.
